This is the big one here. Amazon has a completely unrelated market dominate business that lets them enter new markets at a loss until they crush everyone currently in that market. Amazon is honestly the first company that needs to be broken up. Split up AWS and Amazon market and this becomes a whole new ballgame.

It's very interesting..

i understand they have a strict approach of keeping teams entirely separate and with interaction between teams no different to interaction outside the org (API-always, bill-by-usage, ...)

This has made AWS a very good provider overall, but it probably also makes them very able to cope with being forcibly separated.

I wonder if that is a vulnerability or a planned strategy for this possibility?

First company that needs to be broken up?? What about all the other monopolies that were busted?

[toma_caliente]

I mean of the current tech monopolies(Amazon, Google, etc), Amazon should take priority as the first company among them that needs antitrust lawsuits filed against them and broken up.

I think they mean at this current point in time amazon is the company that needs to be broken up first, as in take priority over companies like facebook and apple not that this is the first company in history that has required intervention.
